Local History Week: George Rogers Clark, Revolutionary War Hero

08-30-2017

-

-

-

Clark County Public Library, 370 South Burns Ave.

6:30 PM

8:00 PM

George Rogers Clark came to Kentucky as a surveyor, but it was as a military leader during the Revolutionary War that he made his mark. In 1777, Clark won approval from Virginia governor Patrick Henry for a secret mission to attack British posts north of the Ohio River. Clark's party set up camp on Corn Island near the falls of the Ohio River in May, 1778. The next month Clark launched a campaign into present-day Illinois and Indiana, defeating the British and their Indian allies and securing the Northwest Territory for the United States.

Meanwhile, the settlers Clark had brought along moved from Corn Island to the Kentucky shore, founding the city of Louisville in late 1778. His war exploits marked the peak of Clark's career. Plagued by debts, drinking and poor health, he spent his later years living in Louisville. Overshadowed by his brother William, of Lewis and Clark fame, he never got the credit he thought he had earned.

Local History Week: Wild Wolf, The Great Civil War Rivalry

08-29-2017

-

-

-

-

Clark County Public Library, 370 South Burns Ave.

6:30 PM

8:00 PM

Today, only a few scholars are familiar with the name Col. Frank Lane Wolford. However, 150 years ago this man was nationally known and in powerful oration, perhaps unwittingly, nearly changed the face of this country.

He had high cheekbones, an eagle like beak of a nose, his hair was black as coal, and he had piercing gray eyes. He had the stature and the resemblance of a wise Cherokee Chief. He was five feet eleven inches tall and 180 pounds and at the age of 47 he had a powerful build. Wounded seven times he fought in over 300 battles and skirmishes. He was deeply loved and respected by his men and was known for his generosity.

Some “red tape” Union military leaders considered his style too independent and irregular. The Wild Riders, many of them wild mountain men themselves, understood his homespun commands and obeyed him. His antithesis, the aristocratic rebel raider, John Hunt Morgan considered “Wild Wolf” the most feared and most dreaded Union Cavalry Commander to meet on the field of battle. Strangely, they had a deep respect for each other. Both Cavalry Commanders were proud of their fine spirited Kentucky steeds. Both Kentucky regiments were known for being hard riding and daring Cavaliers. Wolford’s Cavalry was famously known for riding the finest thoroughbred mounts in the Bluegrass.

During the “Lebanon Races” and “The Great Chase” both man and beast were challenged for stamina and endurance. This is a story about Wolford’s military and political rivalry during the war and his political rivalry that continued post-war. The First Kentucky Cavalry was the oldest Union Kentucky Cavalry in the war. Please register to attend.

Local History Week: The African-American Travel Experience in Jim Crow Kentucky

08-28-2017

-

-

-

-

Clark County Public Library, 370 South Burns Ave.

6:30 PM

8:00 PM

In twentieth-century Jim Crow Kentucky, African Americans had all the concerns of travel that anyone would have, plus a number more. Instead of calculating the distance to the nearest rest stop or filling station, they had to know whether or not those proprietors would refuse them service or be outright hostile. Using the Green Book Travel Guide as a jumping off point, Higgins will discuss the ways that African Americans’ traveled through the state. She’ll discuss how neighbors and neighborhoods throughout the state created opportunities for African Americans to vacation and safely travel during segregation, and how travel and traveling influenced the Civil Rights movement.

Every Thursday in September, October, & November. Not meeting November 23.
Cost is $5/child for members. $20/first child $15/additional children for non-members.
